squash@BOSCO.BERKELEY.EDU (08/31/89)

Running version 18.51.1 of  GNU Emacs.

The command  C-h f  dired-noselect   describes the
dired-noselect command.  However, I cannot execute this command with M-x
Nor does  C-h w  find it.

The function dired-noselect is not an interactive function. Only
interactive functions may be invoked from M-x. This function, not
being interactive is not bound to any key and so C-h w (where-is) is
unable to find it.

To invoke dired-noselect is probably not something you want to do
directly. However, one method you could use to invoke it directly
would be to use eval-expression which is bound to ESC ESC by default.

Enjoy!
